 On August 15th CPAN Day, thanks to the endless promotion of Neil Bowers
and others, the anniversary of the birth of CPAN was celebrated. The
libations were true to form: over 775 releases were made by 107 authors.
Flash in the pan? Beginning of a tradition? We'll have to wait until next
year to find out. In the meantime, we can sit back, relax, and enjoy this
tsunami of new releases. ~ `/anick
